The Elastic documentation: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/frozen-indices.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/frozen-indices.html)

States that frozen indices can be queried. I can curl Elasticsearch and return data from a frozen index, but that same data cannot be found through Kibana. Does anyone know if a frozen index can be queried through Kibana instead of the API? Thoughts?

I think Kibana support for frozen indices was only added in version 6.7 so would recommend that you try upgrading.
